I am cooking fried shrimp this evening. What are some good side dishes to go with it? I guess besides mashed potatoes (we had that last night). Any ideas? Its freezing outside so i don't really want to go out to eat, even though it is my birthday. sigh...... :(

My humble suggestions are:
Fried rice and stir fried veggies
reg rice pilaf and a good green salad
pasta Alfredo and green beans
pasta w Thai peanut butter sauce and broccoli
pancini
egg foo yung (write me for the recipe--so good) and veggies.
Hope it helps and you have yourself a good - no - GREAT day!

Happy Birthday!
I'd make some french fries - or if you don't have any, use whole potato, cut them into small wedges -1/8 - 1/16, season them, and bake them till they are just tender - cutting them 1st allows them to dry out in the oven a little. Then pan fry them in a little oil just to crisp them up and get some color on them.
I know what it's like to have a winter birthday - Mine was 2 weeks ago - not much fun when you have to either clean the driveway and the car just to go out to eat, or cook your own dinner.

Apple walnut rice if you have apples or walnuts or any nuts really
Potato crudete's are always a nice idea
Left over mashed potatoes (for fresh cooked) 1 egg little flour make into mini patties and fry.
Fried rice balls
Japan coleslaw
Linguini and clam sauce
Parsley potatoes
Sautee' mix veggies (even if they are from a can)
How about think sliced tomatoes and onions maranated in italian dressing and served chilled from the frig
Cuke salad
But hey it is your birthday, what do you want?
and for later birthday cake!
HappyB-day

I have always liked grilled steak with shrimp. I know it is cold out, but if you have a grill master available that doesn't mind standing outside to grill, a sirloin or ribeye med. rare goes great with shrimp. Then maybe add a salad or fried greenbeans. Hope it helps. And Happy Birthday!!!!!!!

Cole slaw, salads, fresh fruit, something to counteract the calories in the fried shrimp.

Rice... Rissotto... Saffron Rice... Spanish Rice...
Rice!!! I really only like it when I eat shrimp (or refried beans)... I think they go well together...
have fun
